Why PMAY Matters for Delhi NCR Buyers
Delhi NCR’s property spectrum often focuses on mid– to ultra-luxury, but there’s a high-demand affordable segment where PMAY benefits can be maximized — especially for EWS, LIG, and lower MIG buyers, or investors targeting rental yields in emerging corridors.
With PMAY-U 2.0 (ISS) capping property value at ₹35 lakh for subsidy eligibility, developers in Greater Noida, Bhiwadi, Sohna, Bahadurgarh, and selected Faridabad sectors are actively launching inventory designed to meet PMAY caps.
Delhi NCR Projects Meeting PMAY Caps
Here are examples of ongoing or upcoming developments (all should be cross-checked for RERA registration and ULB approval):
| Project Name | Location | Configurations | Approx. Price Range | PMAY Eligibility Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATS HomeKraft Happy Trails | Sector 10, Greater Noida (West) | 2BHK | ₹30–35 lakh | Meets ₹35 lakh cap for ISS |
| Signature Global Aspire | Sector 95, Gurugram | 2BHK | ₹28–33 lakh | Approved Affordable Housing Policy |
| Godrej Nest Affordable Wing | Greater Noida | 2BHK | ₹32–34 lakh | Limited units under ₹35 lakh |
| Supertech Eco Village 4 | Greater Noida (West) | 2BHK | ₹25–30 lakh | Large EWS/LIG component |
| Raheja Oma Affordable Tower | Dharuhera (NH-8) | 2BHK | ₹24–28 lakh | High rental yield zone |
| BPTP District Affordable | Sector 85, Faridabad | 2BHK | ₹26–31 lakh | Well connected to Delhi Metro |
Tip: For ISS, property value must be ≤ ₹35 lakh. If your budget is ₹40–45 lakh, you may still get benefits under the “affordable” supply-side category in PMAY-U 2.0, but not ISS.
Banks & HFCs in NCR Actively Processing PMAY-U 2.0 (ISS)
Top-performing lenders for fast subsidy credit:
- State Bank of India (SBI)
